Quote of the Week


"When you asked me what I wanted you to bring back from Neopia Central, I said 'sandwich,' not 'sister.' Now, I know these words sound kind of similar -- they both start with s, and have two syllables," Ander began. "However, there is a crucial distinction..."


Discovering Dorak



The Neopedia article on Dorak tells of his childhood as a somewhat awkward boy, unable to swim, and picked on by friends. Given his first row boat as a gift from his mother and father, Dorak is said to have sat in the sand rowing his boat for three weeks pretending to be a pirate. "He weren't pretending. He were aspirin'," Grimtooth points out. "Just like every..."

Terrific Trios



They say: "Two's company, three's a crowd." I disagree. In fact I know quite a few trios who are some of the most popular figures in Neopia. They are known for their eccentricity and for their wacky personalities. Some are evil, others are kind, and some are as neutral as a Transparent Paint Brush, but even those are popular for their own reasons...

Please DO Feed the Meepits


In many cases, if you see feral Meepits, don't give them your food. The best advice I can give if you're in this position is run and don't look back. However, the "domesticated" Meepits, as they are termed, are seen in the popular game Meepit Juice Break. This guide will help you remain safe from Meepits, because if you don't feed them regularly, they will become feral again and wreak havoc! So lock your doors and tape your Neopets to your back; it's time to do some serious Meepit feeding...

"X And The Heart Of A Faerie" by kissy_08
I am a Grundo. I live in the adoption center of Virtupets Space Station. My parents supposedly were forced to serve Lord Sloth and I was forgotten here among thousands of other little Grundos, who have no family, no home, no name. Now and then people will stop at the adoption center and look at us. The Grundo in charge of the adoption center will warn them that we slobber and cry at night. Personally I think that's not the best strategy to make people consider adopting us...

"Breakfast" by mushroom_111
He massaged his head rather crossly and set off decidedly towards the Catacombs. He wanted his Breakfast. As he entered the Catacombs, a wild looking Uni with heavy make-up and a rather gaudy pink tiara planted himself squarely in front of him. "WHO LET THE MEEPITS OUT?" the Uni trilled in an off-tune falsetto, then stared at the meepit. After a few awkward seconds, the meepit politely meep-ed a few times in reply. It seemed to be what was expected of him...

"Behind That Sharp Glare" by knannia
The line thinned quickly, and soon all available seats had been taken. Jacqueline sighed and leaned back in her seat; she had to stay in the lobby and make sure no one snuck in to the performance. She began listening as the chattering crowd quieted and she could hear the boom of a Virtu-Mike being spoken into. The play was starting. "Strong voice, but not enough emotion," Jacqueline said quietly to herself, focusing her gaze on the unremarkable ceiling...
